Development (master)

3.3.3.post1 (2024-02-28)

CI:

  • GHActions: Build and publish wheels on Linux/aarch64.

3.3.3 (2023-10-22)

Minor features:

  • Protect import cgi in preparation to Python 3.13.

Tests:

  • Run tests with Python 3.12.

CI:

  • GHActions: Ensure pip only if needed

    This is to work around a problem in conda with Python 3.7 - it brings in wrong version of setuptools incompatible with Python 3.7.

3.3.2 (2023-08-08)

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed printing to stdout in CheetahWrapper.

CI:

  • CI(GHActions): Install all Python and PyPy versions from conda-forge.

3.3.1 (2022-12-25)

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed ImportHooks under PyPy3.

Tests:

  • Run tests with PyPy3.

CI:

  • Use conda to install older Pythons

    Ubuntu >= 22 and setup-python dropped Pythons < 3.7. Use s-weigand/setup-conda instead of setup-python.

3.3.0.post1 (2022-11-26)

Tests:

  • Run tests with Python 3.11.
  • Fix DeprecationWarning: unittest.findTestCases() is deprecated. Use unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule() instead.

CI:

  • Publish wheels at Github Releases.

3.3.0 (2022-10-10)

Great move:

  • PyPI has wrongfully classified project Cheetah3 as “critical”. This puts a burden to use 2FA to manage the project at PyPI. To avoid the burden the project is renamed to CT3 at PyPI. There will be no updates for Cheetah3. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Minor features:

  • Use relative imports everywhere.

Tests:

  • Run pure-python NameMapper tests in a separate process.
  • Fixed a bug in tests with pure-python NameMapper.
  • Add Python 3.10 to tox.ini.

CI:

  • Migrated to GitHub Actions.

    Due to the absent of Python 3.4 at GH Actions tests are not run and wheels are not built. Installation from sources should work.

    Due to GH Actions lacking old compilers for w32/w64 releases for old Python versions (currently 2.7) are packaged without compiled _namemapper.pyd extension. Cheetah can be used without compiled _namemapper.pyd extension. A pure-python replacement should work; Cheetah imports it automatically if the compiled extension is not available.

  • Stop testing at Travis CI.

  • Stop testing at AppVeyor.

3.2.7b1 (2021-07-25)

Minor features:

  • Load from JSON file to searchlist (similar to loading from pickle).

Bug fixes:

  • Fix filetype for Python 2 in Template.

Build, CI:

  • Build wheels for aarch64 at Travis; publish them at PyPI.

Tests:

  • tox.ini: Limit VIRTUALENV_PIP version for Python 3.4.

3.2.6.post1 (2021-02-22)

Tests:

  • Add Python 3.9 to tox.ini.
  • Refactor tox.ini.

CI:

  • Run tests with Python 3.9 at Travis and AppVeyor.
  • Run tests for Python 3.4 with tox under Python 3.5.

3.2.6 (2020-10-01)

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed use of uninitialized variable in _namemapper.

3.2.5 (2020-05-16)

Build:

  • Install Cheetah3 + markdown (used in Cheetah.Filters) using pip install cheetah3[filters] (or cheetah3[markdown]).

CI:

  • Run tests with Python 3.8 at Travis CI.

3.2.4 (2019-10-22)

Minor features:

  • Import from collections for Python 2, from collections.abc for Python 3.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed infinite recursion in ImportManager on importing module _bootlocale inside open().

3.2.3 (2019-05-10)

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed infinite recursion in ImportManager on importing a builtin module.

Documentation:

Tests:

  • Removed unittest.main() calls from tests: python -m unittest discover -t Cheetah -s Cheetah/Tests -p '[A-Z]*.py' does it.
  • Fixed cheetah test command.
  • Fixed script buildandrun: copy test templates to the build/lib directory.

3.2.2 (2019-04-29)

Minor features:

  • Replaced outdated and insecure mktemp with mkstemp.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed bugs in TemplateCmdLineIface.py: read binary pickles from stdin and files.

Tests:

  • Use cgi.escape() for Python 2, html.escape() for Python 3.
  • Created tests for TemplateCmdLineIface.

3.2.1 (2019-03-19)

Minor features:

  • Changed LoadTemplate.loadTemplate{Module,Class}: the loaded module’s __name__ set to just the file name.
  • Use imp for Python 2, importlib for Python 3.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix a bug in LoadTemplate.loadTemplate{Module,Class}: raise ImportError if the template was not found.

CI:

  • At Travis deploy wheels for macOS.
  • At AppVeyor deploy wheels directly to PyPI.

3.2.0 (2019-02-06)

Features:

  • Dropped support for Python 3.3.
  • Implement LoadTemplate.loadTemplate{Module,Class} to load templates from .py[co], .py or .tmpl.
  • CheetahDirOwner caches compiled template in the template directory.
  • CheetahDirOwner now silently ignores errors on compiled templates writing. To get tracebacks set CheetahDirOwner.debuglevel = 1.
  • CheetahDirOwner and DirOwner byte-compile compiled templates to .pyc/.pyo. Errors on writing are silently ignored.

Minor features:

  • Implement Compiler.__unicode__ under Python 2 and Compiler.__bytes__ under Python 3.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix a bug in Compiler.__str__: under Python 2 the method always returns str; it encodes unicode to str using encoding from the compiled source. Under Python 3 the method decodes bytes to str.

Code:

  • Source code was made flake8-clean using the latest flake8.

Documentation:

  • Remove outdated section markers.
  • Better documentation for ImportHooks.
  • Add an example of a universal makefile.

CI:

  • Run tests with Python 3.7.
  • At Travis deploy sdists and wheels for tags.

3.1.0 (2018-03-03)

Features:

  • Fix Cheetah to work with PyPy. Pull request by Mathias Stearn.

Minor features:

  • Code cleanup: fix code style to satisfy flake8 linter.

Documentation:

  • Rename www directory to docs.

Tests:

  • Run pypy tests at AppVeyor.
  • Use remove-old-files.py from ppu to cleanup pip cache at Travis and AppVeyor.

3.0.1 (2018-02-27)

Bug fixes:

  • Fix a minor bug in Compiler.

3.0.0 (2017-05-07)

Major features:

  • !!!THIS RELEASE REQUIRES RECOMPILATION OF ALL COMPILED CHEETAH TEMPLATES!!!
  • Stop supporting Python older than 2.7.
  • Update code to work with Python 3.3+. Tested with 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

Minor features:

  • Use ‘/usr/bin/env python’ for scripts; this allows eggs/wheels to be installed into virtual environments.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix a bug in multiple inheritance (#extend Parent1, Parent2). Pull request by Jonathan Ross Rogers.
  • Fix bugs in pure-python NameMapper.py. Bugs reported by Noah Ingham, patches by Adam Karpierz, tests by Oleg Broytman.
